14,000 polling stations located at Venezuela’s major squares will collect signatures until April 9, exactly one month after US President Barack Obama signed an executive order declaring Venezuela a threat to US national security. The 10 million hoped-for signatures will accompany a letter of protest which will be sent to Obama, urging him to repeal the executive order and end sanctions that hurt millions of Venezuelans.
